Recipe with Rebecca - Quick Museli

Quick Muesli

Fit For Life Physical Therapy

Rebecca Youngs, MS, RD, LD

This recipe is one that my grandma passed down to my mom…the to me, with my added touch of course!  It is easy, requires only 5 minutes, and it can be used in so many ways! 

Muesli is by far one of the easiest things to throw together.  It is like granola, except not baked.  Try switching up the nuts and dried fruit to make different flavor combinations like pumpkin spice with nutmeg, pecans, walnuts, freeze-dried apple, and cranberries!  This is a straightforward way to grab a breakfast that is full of fiber, protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats.  How should you enjoy?  Soak the mixture in milk overnight for quick overnight oats, mix in Greek yogurt and let sit for 10 minutes, or bake into muffins!

3 cups old fashioned rolled oats

1 cup raw sliced almonds

¼ cup ground flax seed

½ cup dried mango or apple, diced small, optional

½ cup pumpkin seeds, optional

1 tsp. cinnamon

½ tsp. salt
